Tom Lynch Online Art Workshop: Specialty Techniques for Painting the Landscape, September 20, 2025

This 1-day live, interactive online workshop is devoted to Tom’s famous “Specialty Techniques” that he uses for painting award-winning watercolor landscapes.  In this class you learn several different ways to paint a variety of subjects found in landscapes.  You will paint these many different parts on separate sheets of paper, without the pressure of finishing a painting. In the morning session, Tom will teach you, step-by-step, how to paint waterfalls, rocks, forests, rays of sunlight, and more, as Tom watches and guides you.  These small practice paintings will give you that all-important confidence to have when you later create finished paintings. During the 1-hour lunch break there will be a slideshow showcasing many watercolor paintings from Tom’s studio, workshops, and plein-air collection. In the afternoon session, the lessons continue as you learn to paint mist, fog, rain, clouds, and other subjects. You will come away from this workshop with new and different ways to paint the landscape.  If you like color, contrast, sunlight, and shadow, and you want to take your art and skills to the next level, then this class is for you! Tom provides a comprehensive amount of information for building strong foundations which can be applied to all your future paintings. Prior to the workshop, students will receive the photo reference, preliminary sketch, lesson guides, video tips and techniques, articles to read, bonus videos to watch, and color lesson guides to print out. You can follow the same scene that Tom demonstrates, one of the other options he will send, or work from your own composition. Tom’s 3 camera set up makes for great viewing of his demos and close-ups, and you can also benefit by listening as he helps each of the other students.  The demonstrations will be recorded and available to replay, pause, rewind, fast-forward and screenshot, at your own pace and convenience, for 4 WEEKS following the workshop.  As a bonus, Tom will continue to assist you by email and/or text for 4 WEEKS, answering your questions, reviewing your work, and offering suggestions for your paintings.  This class is for artists having basic watercolor skills, and up.
